1.5 Science Instrument Performance


The science instrument performance in two-gyro mode is nearly indistinguishable from the science instrument performance in three-gyro mode. Refer to the appropriate Instrument Handbooks for information regarding the detailed on-orbit performance capabilities of the HST science instruments. Additional information about the performance in two-gyro mode can be found in the Instrument Science Reports listed below.
